Project Name: Footsteps Canon Project Credits: Keiko Takahashi Project Brief Description:
Footsteps Canon is a 2009 interactive sound installation by the artist Keiko Takahashi. This project was sponsored by the Laboratory for Experimental Computer Science at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne. The project consists of a catwalk with sensors that detect a person’s footsteps. The rhythm of their footsteps is recorded, and electric sounds that imitate the footsteps’ rhythm is emitted from a speaker. These sounds are stored and looped, so that as more and more people walk on the catwalk, it becomes a full orchestration. The varying beat of a different people’s footsteps turns a two-dimensional rhythm into a three-dimensional effect.
